IANA Functions Stewardship Transition Updates

  On 14 March 2014, the NTIA announced its intention to transition its 
stewardship role of IANA functions, and called upon ICANN to launch and 
facilitate a process with the community to derive a proposal to 
transition the IANA functions to the global multistakeholder community, 
meeting the criteria set out by the NTIA.
Following community dialogue, the process for developing a proposal for 
this transition was posted on 6 June 2014. As a part of this process, a 
Coordination Group will be responsible for preparing a transitional 
proposal respective of the differing needs of the various affected 
parties of the IANA functions.

See here for a full list of the Coordination Group Representatives.

The first face-to-face meeting of the Coordination Group will take place 
in London from 08:00-17:00 UTC on 17-18 July at the Hilton London 
Metropole Hotel.
